I didn’t know that. Thanks

Maybe legilsation that would criminalise any citizien ID credentials leaving the country unless covered by special govt agreement with extraterritorial guarantees, or something giving the Aust Govt legal rights over such info collected, stored or used overseas in every case, Along with a Govt-backed system of encryptpted identification tokens (preserving a citizen’s privacy) that could be exchanged with companies and agencies overseas when an ID is required, might put an end to #IDTheft schemes.

So, when my wife got her passport, the post office conveniently lost her naturalization certificate. When she got a new one issued, the new one mysteriously disappeared in the mail too, even though it was sent certified mail. It seems like there's some organized thing going on in the #Bronx where people are stealing naturalization certificates being sent through #USPS.

Spectrum Sued After Massive Data Breach Allegedly Exposes 40 Million Customer Records: What Raleigh Customers Need to Know

Thousands of Spectrum customers across North Carolina—including many in Raleigh and Wake County—could be impacted after Charter Communications, the parent company of Spectrum, was hit with multiple class-action lawsuits following a massive cybersecurity incident that allegedly exposed the personal information of more than 40 million customers.  

If you’re a Spectrum Internet, TV, Mobile, or Home Phone customer, here’s what you should know.

What Happened?

According to multiple lawsuits filed in federal court, hackers allegedly gained access to Spectrum customer information during an April 2026 cyberattack.

Investigators believe attackers used a voice phishing (vishing) attack to compromise an employee’s account before accessing customer data stored in a Salesforce system. The breach was publicly disclosed in late May 2026.  

Information That May Have Been Exposed

The compromised information may include:

• Full names
• Home addresses
• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Spectrum account details
• Customer support records
• Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)
• Service plan information

At this time, investigators continue to determine the full scope of the breach.  

How Does This Affect Raleigh and North Carolina Customers?

Spectrum is one of the largest internet and cable providers serving Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Garner, Apex, and much of the Triangle.

If you’re currently a Spectrum customer—or were one during early 2026—you may have had information included in the breach.

Even if no financial information was exposed, cybercriminals often use stolen personal data to:

• Launch phishing scams
• Commit identity theft
• Attempt account takeovers
• Create convincing scam emails or phone calls

Customers should remain alert for suspicious emails, text messages, and phone calls claiming to be from Spectrum.

What Should Spectrum Customers Do?

Security experts recommend:

• Change your Spectrum password immediately.
• Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever available.
• Monitor bank and credit card accounts for suspicious activity.
• Place a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus if necessary.
• Watch for an official notification from Spectrum regarding your account.
• Be cautious of unsolicited calls requesting personal information.

Can Raleigh Customers Join the Lawsuit?

Several proposed class-action lawsuits have already been filed against Charter Communications.

Generally, you may qualify if:

• You were a Spectrum customer during the affected time period.
• Your personal information was exposed.
• You receive an official data breach notification from Spectrum.

At this stage, these lawsuits are proposed class actions, meaning no settlement has been reached and no court has determined liability.  

How to Join the Lawsuit

If you believe you were affected:

1. Keep any letter or email you receive from Spectrum regarding the breach.
2. Document any fraudulent activity or identity theft.
3. Contact an attorney handling Spectrum data breach cases if you’re interested in participating.
4. Monitor official court filings and settlement websites for future updates if the cases are certified as class actions.  

Remember that joining a lawsuit is optional. If the cases later become certified class actions and result in a settlement, eligible customers are often notified about how to submit a claim.

Bottom Line

For many Raleigh-area residents, Spectrum is their primary provider for internet, television, and mobile service. While there is currently no evidence that every customer’s data has been misused, the alleged exposure of up to 40 million customer records highlights the growing importance of monitoring personal information and practicing good cybersecurity habits.

DoRaleigh.com will continue following developments and provide updates if new information, settlements, or customer notifications become available.
